HeartBeat Personal Trainer

Prototype Personal Trainer?

I'm sure it's hosted somewhere here, but for the moment, Link. I've never seen this button coloration before... is this an early/prototype/variant Personal Trainer/shell design? (EDIT: Appears it's an early shell used in the brochure/sent to magazines. Link)

To do

• Might not be suuuperrr notable, but- they used that kinda heavily-textured 'grippy' plastic in the system's shell... the texture used on certain handles and grips in fitness equipment. Which is a neat vibe design-wise, but a huge majority of these consoles nowadays look filthy because of it. That stuff picks up so much dust; in a gym or whatever, you want that extra grip, and its gonna be wiped down anyway. But man, theres so much dust and crud on all of these. Again not terribly notable, but this can be worked into the article with like a "the shell was manufactured to mimic the texture commonly used on fitness machine handles to further reinforce the fitness-oriented capabilities of the system; however, the rough texture is designed to provide a strong grip, and therefore ends up accumulating a significant amount of dust on the outer shell of the system" or something.
• What are the cables in File:OJHPT 4.jpg used for? Are those the fitness sensors themselves? While you're looking into it, clarify the exact setup method, where you'd mount the controllers on the bikes and the sensors on your body etc, intended purposes etc.
• Figure out exactly when Outback Joey+Personal Trainer was released. Someone had to have at least documented a month.

Compatible game distribution method

How was the system's built-in or packed-in games for exercise distributed — cart? Built in? Do we have the names of these softwares? (This is so I can add them to the undumped list...) - Andlabs 16:39, 7 March 2011 (CST)

Honestly, this is about all the information out there. Though "Outback Joey" was bundled with the console as a cartridge. -Black Squirrel 01:45, 8 March 2011 (CST)
